the wires are too short to go where my old light was. do i have to splice other wires together or do they pull out to be longer ?

You are going to have to splice the wires to extend it. The cord they give you is a rather odd length, figuring that by the time you mount the light in some cases the wire has to go back a long the light wasting wire. I hope this helps.

we had to disassemble the unit to install. The wires are the length of the light starting at one end and extending to the other, not sure I remember the direction. But the installation took some effort. When we finished we did not think the light was bright enough and removed the assembly and went with LED's.

Most of these types of light have a clip to clamp the wire for the light to the ground wire. You will need to locate where the old clip from the light your replacing is located on the ground wire, but this should be minimal digging. The clamp should be pretty shallow and close to the light your replacing.

Yes, you should be able to shorten the length of the light, we had a different problem, we had to makeit longer and we were able to do that without a problem..You would just cut the wiring to the size you want and remove that many links...

Actually too long; I had to gather the excess wire and used a nylon zip line to cinch them up....no worry about the wires being too short...excellent lights!!!

I am not sure what you are talking about. But we removed the existing fixture which was more than 10 yrs old and replaced it with this light. No additional things were needed. Hope that helps.

I let my mechanic do it for me; apparently it's easy to do and doesn't take very long, first find where the two wires for the rear lights come from the plug and then just connect the two LED's to them in the plug itself, if you're not quite sure what to do just go to your local garage and they'll sort it for you, it won't cost you much, I hope this helps.

Check out this Youtube video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iob1qgiU1I0I have small hands so I didn't need to take out the whole light assembly.

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

We did not have good ones...looked at pic plus so called directions and worked it out. I had to go to the store to get some good wire so I could tie all he black and white to create just one for each as there were so many to connect...normally this is already done for you by most company's , so this is poor to leave to the consumer esp if you know nothing about electrical . If you do that give yourself enough slack as it's hard to connect if you have to hold it up close. Good luck...light is nice though and looks good

id have to know how you have them wired wat u have them wired up my recommendations hard wire with a switch or splice with factory wiring if you are using them as backup lights

We never found instructions. When we purchased our unit it came with a couple of these already installed, so we looked and repeated what we saw. I think we had to cut some wires to tie in the new lights. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You would have to cut & splice the wires - wires as they come are def not that long.

Wires need to be spliced. They give you just enough wire to make a decent splice. Otherwise order a kit that provides switch etc.

You must remove old one and slide new one over socket, you may have to trim sockets down to size hence why they are so inexpensiveDane HarmonDCH Electric & Lighting

Hi I don't really know the answer to your question. I plugged my existing connection for the lights and it worked. No new wires or changes.

The leads on mine are about 5". I suspect it varies but sounds like they're making them shorter. Save 1" to 2" per light and that's a lot of wire over several hundred lights. Personally I don't care as I replace the lead-in wire provided with a cord long enough to go to the main feed or termination box because I don't like having an extra splice in each light run.

I had the same issue, as the wire was only 4' long on each.However, I did cut off the existing wire and connected the new sensors with the wire nuts that were included.
